I'm building an app using the Ionic framework, which I've done in the browser until now. Because I now want to use the cordovaOauth plugin I need to use the emulator. The problem is that I can't see any console.log() in the emulator as I do in the browser, which makes it hard to debug.
Does anybody know how in Ionic/Cordova I can make use of console logging in the emulator? All tips are welcome!

From that device list click on "Inspect" button on the right side of that device name(check screenshot for the same) will open a new window with your device mirror now console is yours play around with this debugger.
To access it, open the Chrome Developer tools from the More tools menu. Inside it you need to open the Remote devices view from the More tools menu. The view will list all attached Android devices and running emulator instances, each with its own list of active web views.
Developer Options & USB Debugging are enabled by default in the Android emulator. Open the Chrome browser and navigate to the URL chrome://inspect/#devices . Your connected Android device should show up in the list of Remote Targets. On your device, open the Ionic app that you would like to debug using Chrome.
Just enable the console logs in the emulator. Here my example:
> ionic emulate ios --livereload Setup Live Reload Running dev server: http://localhost:8100 Adding in default Ionic hooks Running live reload server: http://localhost:35729 Watching : [ 'www/**/*', '!www/lib/**/*' ] Ionic server commands, enter: restart or r to restart the client app from the root goto or g and a url to have the app navigate to the given url consolelogs or c to enable/disable console log output serverlogs or s to enable/disable server log output quit or q to shutdown the server and exit Type consolelogs in the command line and hit enter.
consolelogs Console log output: enabled Loading: /?restart=382451 ionic $ 0 498458 log Hi there! This is from console.log run ionic emulate ios -l -c
This will open the emulator with livereload feature, and you'll see all the console logs in the terminal. To turn the console logs off (or on) just write consolelogs or just c in the terminal while the ionic server is running
Another very convenient way to debug your app when using iOS emulator/device is using the Safari developer tools
When the app runs - enter Safari and choose "Develop > iOS Simulator > your page"
If you work with a real device you'll see the device's name instead of "iOS Simulator"
If you don't see the "Develop" menu in safari - enter Safari's preferences and enable it from the "advanced" tab
